feels but it looks to me like he is a little confused. and a little scared. >> reporter: the family is considering what experimental stem cell treatments might be best for michael. if any. >> the spinal cord is a very delicate, extremely complicated organ, and so far, there has not been one case in which we have regenerated in humans. >> reporter: in fact, the doctor says implanting stem cells could put martinez at greater risk because doctors would have to bring down the immune system during treatment. >> we have been slow on this issue mainly because we know he has not been stable enough to undergo a trans plant or something like that and if he had a brain injury that needed close care, but i think definitely, chi foresee that he will bible -- i could foresee that he will be stable enough next week. >> the family wants to take the time to decide what is

best. >> if he is going to be paralyzed, it is horrible but at least he is going to be a life. >> and he could still be a father. >> can still be a brother. >> and a cousin. so we just have to be thankful he is alive. >> martinez's girlfriend is expecting their first child later this month and the family thinks or at least hopes that could be a motivation for him, too. what better live for and fight for than a kid. >> absolutely. and you feel certainly sorry for him. what kind of treatment options does he have other than stem cells? is that a good track record? >> there there is almost no track record. there is a group in chicago that is doing it but the doctor was telling us that as far as he knows, he is not really sure if anyone has been subjected to this treatment before. so it is quite possible that martinez, if he does decide to do it, he could be the first one to ever try it. >> we will keep our fingers crossed. thank you, simon. appreciate that. well, a san bruno man has filed a class action lawsuit against pg&e over the explosion
